Wonderful Hotel

Pros: Everything

Cons: We would have like to had a Jacuzzi on the property

Location: Wonderful restaurants in Santa Barbara

The Belmond El Encanto was a beautiful hotel up in the hills of Santa Barbara. The entire staff was exceptionally friendly. So much so that I actually told the staff what a nice experience that was. The room was gorgeous, large and very clean. The bed was super comfortable and sheets were amazing. We ate dinner at the restaurant and the food delicious, very unique! The hotel offers gas pedaled bikes that we would like to use on our next visit. We look forward to going back again very soon!

Beautiful grounds, quiet, w a GREAT dining porch

Pros: Dining terrace, friendly staff, shuttle to town

This is a lovely, quiet, beautiful, restful hotel. The website doesn't do it justice. Perched inland and up in the hills of Santa Barbara, the hotel has a free shuttle that will take you anywhere within a 5 mile radius - which means all of downtown SB, beaches, parks, the Mission and other sites. The efficient and welcoming staff hums around the campus and is present immediately when needed. The pool is lovely; the workout room is reasonably useful and the grounds and gardens are fabulous. But, the best feature is the terrace off the dining room where everyone wants to eat; guests and locals alike. The breakfast fruit and eggs bene were among the best we've ever had. It was chilly in the mornings this past June and the staff had the heaters cranking and the blankets handy which was a real treat since we really wanted to be outside. We found the salt encrusted meats at dinner time a bit too salty. The rooms were spacious and the staff very accommodating. It's easy to see why El Encanto gets rated so highly - I wasn't fully convinced until we stayed. We'll go back for sure.

Eclectic hotel in beautiful location poor mgmt

Rooms eclectic and spacious and old world vibe with stunning views. Service was a disaster. Room was missing fireplace remote so we couldn't use it even after an hour of dicking around by "engineering". Wifi was either down or < 1Mbit for both days I was there (note that is slower than DSL!). I changed room twice to get better wifi no luck. Room service was slow, late, and often didn't respond when we called. Overall a disaster.
